Just wondering how to update themed apps? I have a mixture of themes installed right now, as I originally installed the Invernito theme, and have now pulled out their framework and apps and started theming over the top of them (didn't remember that the files I pulled were from invernito til I started).
I tried using titanium to uninstall facebook, but then could not install from the market....
Can someone offer some advice? I would like to install the latest facebook update since it has chat built in, and reduces my need for another app like IM+
Thanks in advance!
Did you reboot after uninstalling because you need to.
I'm pretty sure I did. I will give this another try and be sure to reboot as I reverted to a nandroid backup when I couldnt get it working.

hello folks,
I was trying to make my news and weather widget have a transparent background and through some poor reading i deleted the app. I did backup the original up via Titanium Backup beforehand but when i went back to see if i could restore, i don't have that option. I've downloaded several Genie widget apps now and all will install but once opened give the "Sorry...The application News and...has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Any thoughts on how to get this going properly again. Any help is much appreciated

How are you trying to install? If it were me, I would adb push it to /system/app/ rather than trying to install .apk. Be sure that it is not installed in /data/app/ first. That might be what is creating this problem.
i was going through Astro and app installer with no success. I just tried to push the file but no dice there either, same error. I check /data/app and i actually have nothing in this folder...is that normal? I checked system/app and the app was successfully sent over but not working as i said earlier. I appreciate your help on this...i'm all ears to any other suggestions. thanks

you should have some data in /data/app unless you have absolutely no user apps installed and even then I'd expect some. Try using adb making sure that you've remounted /system as rw
Some of you will know that Google has released an updated Android Market. The original thread can be found here.
Now, how would i go about installing it on my tab when we still have no ability to flash .zip updates?
download the apk and run it on your tab all done.
Lordao
so i dont need to replace the original?
edit: just replaced the original, works perfectly thanks!
Got the update from applanet
Check the themes and apps section. Already posted the apk and how to install.

Or just wait a few days and it'll update itself automatically.
And if you don't like it, just go into Applications/Manage Applications/All/Market and Uninstall Updates. That'll roll you back to the Market version that was on your particular ROM.
The new Market just ain't thrilling me yet. For one thing, it's bloody SLOW, slow to load, slow to transition, etc. It's also more cumbersome to use, especially when updating applications, the button spacing is a mess, the "more" to see more application info is a mess (they should hide the comments instead), and the recently released "similar" tab is absent.
I'm sure it'll get better, but I prefer to keep the old, fast version for now.
I have a question: when I installed the new market (by launching the APK), it is listed under 'Third party' in Manage Applications. Is this how it really should be (compared to getting the official version from Google in a few weeks)? Not that it matters..
Got mine from applanet. Works like charm. No Hiccups.
I remounted /system rw, and replaced /system/app/Vending.apk. Works like charm.
I have also replaced other Google apps this way (Search, Voice Search, Google Maps and Street View).
Another way to replace your ROM version is to just install the APK from the SD card by clicking on it. Now fire up Titanium Backup and go to the Batch process called "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM" This works real slick and is really easy.

Today morning opened up market, got notified that a bunch of apps could be updated...clicked update all...marketclosed and everything installed fine...but SURPRISE...the market too has gotten updated to the new one on its own!

You have to remount your system partition read/write and simply move (copy/delete) the apks from /data/app to /system/app (they have different names in /system/app, so Market is com.android.vending-1.apk or something in /data/app and Vending.apk in /system/app)
Or you can use donate version Titanium Backup to do that.

Hmm... my market app got upgraded yesterday without a notice - a little surprised last night when i found it out.
Was it supposed to roll out yesterday? I didn't hear anything about it.
same here, no notice, nothing at all
suddenly it got updated
Strange...mine didnt. have to do it from Applanet.
Maybe I am using a non Samsung Official ROM
Just FYI. i am using JMA.
Hello!
So I am fairly new at rooting and roms but I managed to do everything perfect on my droid 2. I am running fission and it has served me very well. I just have one minor question. I've tried everything lol. So installed the 3G mobile hotspot app that came with the rom manager and I want to remove it. I tried deleting the application through the "manage applications" screen and I've tried dragging and holding then dropping the app into the trash and it says "uninstall unsuccessful." Am I missing something. Can anyone give me a hint? I just want to remove the app that I installed via fission.
Thank you!
Just use Titanium Backup. Click on the app you want to remove and then select uninstall and poof its gone. The free version is able to do this, just search for it in the market if you aren't using it already.
nice! thank you for your help. deleted the program without any problems.
I love my Continuum.
But... it is so much "noisier" than all other Android phones that I tried!
By "noisier", I mean constant bombardment of the system log by all the applications that run there and, most annoyingly, random interruption by unsolicited notifications, messages, RSS, etc.
This gets in the way of certain applications that I run in the foreground, so I tried an application called "Android Assistant" to help kill unneeded applications/services on boot. It doesn't help, as the system seems not to allow killing certain processes.
Is there a Continuum ROM that's cleaner than the latest ec07?
Is there a CyanogenMod ROM for the Continuum?
Frankly, I prefer keeping the existing ROM and only install a Market application that kills on boot all the the applications that I don't need (e.g. Market, Gmail, Corporate Email, etc.), but is there such an application that really works?
Thanks!
Titaniumbackup or a root tool to uninstall bloat / apps u don't use. That's short of setting up a kitchen and cooking ur own rom.
PS I'd try tib first cause I remember the trouble u had with flashing the rom to begin with
Pss

My ROM is less bloated, but it still has like Gmail for example
I enjoy a very minimulistic device with very little clutter and apps.. I am currently working on a rom based on nuckin's, with a few tweeks, apks removed and some added to my liking. i am currently flashing the first test. Hopefully with a day or two, or even possibly tonight if it doesn't get to late i will post it up in a beta form.
Thats what Im talking about when are we going to get Cyanogen to make us a rom

Good memory!
I actually took a look at TIB and the task of deciding which application or service to uninstall looks daunting.
This is especially scary when I am prompted by the following warning when I try to uninstall via TIB:
Some system packages are needed for your phone to work properly. If you un-install the wrong package, it's your fault and you may need to reinstall your ROM !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I know up front which system packages I can uninstall? For example, if I uninstall Gmail, will the Market stop working?
For example, I uninstalled a few applications that I don't need and now I am getting periodic "Force close" messages for the following:
hiddenmenu - com.android.hiddenmenu
Messaging - com.android.mms
What is "hiddenmenu"?
I am attaching a text file listing all currently installed APKs. If you could provide tips which ones must absolutely remain on the phone, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

well i think we could do something with CM as soon as/if we ever get an open source kernel newer than 2.1update.
Any apps out there that keep a database of your installed apps and allows you to auto-reinstall if you say flashed a new ROM?
I figured it must exist since it doesn't seem like a difficult concept, I could be wrong.
I use appbrain.com to reinstall apps from the market.
I use appsaver to save apks to sd card and file expert to reinstall multiple apks from sd card.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Appbrain is okay, but there is nothing automatic about it. Is there anything out there that will install and you won't have to accept permissions for each application?
rooted or non root solution
if you are looking for a root solution, you can always use rom toolbox or titanium backup. If you plan to buy one to get the completely auto data + app backup restore, i suggest rom toolbox only because not only does it manage apps, but it has many other features.
if you are looking for a nonrooted solution, you can get an app on the market to pull you apks and then manually install them as previously stated by someone else.
I remember one rom I installed over a year ago it had auto setup or something enabled where it download every single app I had ever installed from the market. No pratically really.
Its called cyanogenmod
